ICA: Volunteer and Internship Information

Internship Opportunities

FALL 2011 OPPORTUNITIES

Curatorial

The Curatorial department at ICA researches and organizes upcoming exhibitions, produces exhibition catalogues; manages the travel of exhibitions; and collaborates with other departments on developing public programming and press materials. Curatorial interns will gain valuable experience with the workings of a contemporary art institution by assisting the department with a variety of tasks that include: researching exhibition themes and artists bibliographies; documenting exhibition information and images; maintaining Curatorial databases and archives; sending out exhibition publications; assisting with artist submissions for Curatorial review; managing ICAs library; and responding to inquiries about past exhibitions. Experience with FileMaker a plus.

Development

An ideal position for students interested in a career in museum management, this position allows students to view the inner-workings of a non-profit art organization. Development is responsible for raising a significant part of the museum's budget and interns assist with many aspects of development and fundraising, including grants, membership, and special events. Interns assist in researching and compiling materials required for funding requests and grant reports; maintaining annual giving, membership renewal and new member solicitation information; coordination of opening receptions and special events and working on the museums book exchange program and library, which contains approximately 3000 books and periodicals.

Education

Educational programming at ICA is targeted to teen audiences and older with an emphasis on university and public programs. Interns assist in the creation and implementation of exhibition related programs and interpretation, including program brainstorming, event management, online content development and reading material preparation. Education works to leverage ICA resources and expertise to assist faculty who are interested in using ICA exhibitions as a teaching tool and to foster partnerships with university student organizations to support educational and entertainment opportunities for students. Preference will be given to interns who are available on Wednesday evenings to assist with programs.
